Thanks everyone for your advice and knowledge. I have improved to limping status. I was having a really great session at Cypress before the ray got me. Thanks to Rob and John for looking after me and my gear. Scott, good to meet you last night at Lassing! Thanks for the pic.

Tampa General is so much cleaner and friendlier then any other hospital I have been in. They gave me 2 shots of morphine which stopped the pain. It also gave me a short fuse, i.e. made me cranky. Bad stuff. I was given Levoquin as an antibiotic for ten days, and some pain meds. The infection spread from my knee to my ankle within 2 days and has now subsided to about the size of a fist around the exit wound. Luckily I got some more antibiotics from a friend because 10 days of antibiotics was not enough. I'll be riding again very soon.

Thanks everyone.
